Salisbury Massachusetts beach town won't turn water on at seasonal homes

I'm damn proud of where I live! We got a solid F in all categories. lol

Hell I think more people are out than even normal. Traffic has been terrible! lol

Screw WHO. Screw the CDC. Screw anyone who believes this lockdown is a good idea. I'm taking a shower and heading out. Gonna be a good day to be around people!

Hundreds of folks looking to head to their summer homes in one Massachusetts beach town will likely find themselves without running water.

Officials in Salisbury are reportedly refusing to turn on water meters for more than 300 seasonal homes in an effort to keep residents homebound until the coronavirus pandemic subsides.

Containing the spread of the coronavirus requires collective, unified action, but data on social distancing makes it clear this isn’t happening everywhere.

The question is why.

In what kinds of places are residents deciding to move about as if they are immune to the virus that has paralyzed much of the world?

What do they look like, and why are they ignoring the calls for social distancing?

To get some hints, I put together several sources of data from US counties focusing on economic and demographic characteristics, voting patterns, civic engagement and social capital, and even attitudes toward climate change from Yale’s Climate Change in the American Mind survey.


Analyzing the data reveals that social distancing behavior is related to education; to race and ethnicity; to political identity and social capital; and to the impact that this virus has already had on the residents of particular counties.

And the various sources of data also reveal a larger pattern.

One of the strongest and most robust predictors of social distancing behavior is found in attitudes toward another major challenge facing the United States: climate change.

Places where residents are less likely to agree that global warming is happening, that humans are the cause, and that we have an obligation to do something about it are the places where residents haven’t changed their behavior in response to coronavirus.

The analysis makes clear that we have a collective action problem much larger than Covid-19.

Other measures like the age profile of the county, the total size of the population, the racial and ethnic composition, and even the total number of confirmed cases of Covid-19 do not have a clear relationship with social distancing behavior. Different characteristics turn out to be much better predictors; the strongest predictors are shown in the chart above.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, politics and civic engagement bear a strong relationship to social distancing behavior. Higher levels of social capital — a combination of voter turnout in federal elections, response rates in the 2010 census, the number of associations and the number of nonprofits per capita — is associated with more social distancing.

By contrast, counties with the greatest share of votes for Trump in the 2016 election were least likely to practice social distancing. And the greater the share of residents who disagreed with the statement that global warming is happening, the worse the county’s grade received in the Social Distancing Scoreboard.

Social distancing grades rise with the level of social capital in a county, and grades fall with the percentage of the county voters who cast a ballot for Trump in 2016.

It amazes me how you people think you're some kind of an expert now cause you read shit on the internet. You fail at life loser.

Fauci, Birx, MSM, CDC and WHO, all of whom got this completely wrong from the start, is who they are listening too

It shows why extreme Dems keep getting elected, the voters are all in la la land drinking up their BS

What I have found out in life is that the utilities are assholes. If you turn your electric or water back on when it's been shut off or they will not connect you, first they put a "wire" on it. When you cut that off, they put a "lock" on it. If you cut off the "lock", you will no longer get any service from them without paying out the ass for it. And sometimes, they will not even allow you to pay for it at all and just cut you off. The utilities are not federal, state or locally owned in most places. They are commercial businesses that are just like any other business in that they will cut you off and not give you service anymore.

I've watched people (with children) freezing because of no heating even though there are laws against cutting off heating in the winter. Last frost date and you are cut off and if you haven't paid that bill by the next winter, they won't cut you back on until it's paid. Even if you have children. They don't have to. By law, they are not allowed to "cut you off" but if you are already "off", it's not their problem. LOL

Cheap bastards should have paid the small monthly fee to keep their meters in and paid someone a small monthly fee to go around and check on the place every so often to make sure there are no leaks and such going on, squatters. What's wrong with people? Cheap asses...

Then tell the city, they won't pay fill taxes if they refuse to open water. Count the days they wont turn it on and refuse to pay taxes for those many days!

That is awesome news! I hope they do it all over the country. Folks shouldn't be vacationing when we're in national state of emergency and or pandemic.

1 small piece of 3/4 plastic pipe.
2 shark bite male adapters.
1 wrench.
water on in less than 5 minutes.

They are not turning on the whole system. What kind of Plumber are you anyway using shark bites ?

It’s not vacationing, it’s going to a property they own and pay taxes on

Which appears to keep the city afloat
